kenne bell or vortec with auto

I've decided on the KB 9 # intercooled, with the big tube .....boy, that's a lot of money !!! I just miss the pull of my 03 cobra, this should be interesting with the solid rear !! (and stock bottom end)

First I had the head tick, new driver's side head, then what sounded like a rod knock developed that went away after warm up. I figured it was piston slap, forged internals need to warm up, so I brought it to ford, put on another new driver's side head, said my replacement head had a defect in it. Well I go to pick up the car and the noise is louder than ever and does not go away after warm up, wtf, I mean this noise was too loud to drive in public ! They told me that SVT knows about the problem but does not have a fix. Said they tested the bottom end and it was OK and that the noise was in the valvetrain. Everyone on the terminators forums is waiting for this new head to be released, it was supposed to be october....will SVT last with Carol Shelby's name to add to the mustang retro line up. Anyway, I could not go to another dealership and trade in the cobra or sell it with the loud knock, so I asked the dealership to take it in on trade for a new 04 gt stang vert. I will build it and start out with an auto and solid rear , thats what the fastest cobras were modding to anyway, I personally like the looks of my modded gt better than the 03-04 cobras, and I did not feel right modding the exterior of my 03 cobra.

Sounds good purebred, do you ever go to fredericktowne mall on saturday nights ?
